TheFilene’s BasementRunning of the Brides sale is back. This Friday, March 19, hundreds, maybe even thousands of brides will head to the annual sale in hopes of finding the perfect wedding gown…or at least one that fits! (Wish I could be there too.) Brides can find dresses priced at around $250, $500, and $700 in sizes 2 to .26

White House chief domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes tied the knot with Marland Buckner, Jr., Saturday June 13 wearing a beautiful fitted gown by Amsale. The ivory hued garment with rhinestone detailing, which flared below the knee was a perfect complement to Barnes’ slender frame. Ethiopian designer Amsale Aberra started designing wedding gowns when she needed one for her wedding to film executive Neil Brown more than 25 years ago. Unable to find a simple, refined gown to her liking, Amsale started what is now known as the Amsale Collection. Halle Berry, Salma Hayek, and Lucy Liu are fans.
